Are you ready to go back in time and exprience what life in the Middle Ages felt like? If so, get ready for an immersive experience as part of a new project titled “Brașov, our Citadel”. Held over August 9-11 in Brașov, central Romania, the event is organized by Terra Ultrasilvana, Cimpoierii din Transilvania – the Pipers of Transylvania and the Made in Bistrița-Năsăud Association. Over the course of three days, the organizers will bring back to life the impressive material and immaterial heritage of Brașov County – the old fortifications in the city center, alongside its turrets, bastions and gates. The Guard Fortress will also host a medieval camp, with a vibrant arts and crafts Medieval fair consisting of various workshops, concerts and games. On the sidelines of the event, guests will be able to take part in various medieval artisans’ workshops, from pottery and glass painting, to blacksmithing, handicraft objects and weaving. Reenactments of historical battles will be staged by the Terra Ultrasilvana Association. And of course, it wouldn’t have been a medieval fair proper without the appropriate music setting, ensured by the Pipers of Transylvania.

 

 

The project addresses the general public, but in particular the beneficiaries of the SCUT Brașov day center, thus seeking to contribute to the social inclusion of people with disabilities, helping them develop their artistic abilities. More details about the event from Peter Moynahan, one of the organizers of the event and a member of the band the Pipers of Transylvania.

 

“Historical reenactment and mediaeval music will be back in Brasov city between the 9th and 11th of August. Terra Ultrasilvana will be in charge with the reenactment that will take place near the Fortress on the Hill, while the Pipers of Transylvania will be cheering up the crowds through the streets of the Old Town. The most important defensive elements of the old city will be brought back to life, also emphasizing some of its squares. Our project will include a small mediaeval fair with some of the most important craftsmen from Transylvania and they will also do workshops for the audience. The project manager is the Terra Ultrasilvana Association in partnership with “Produs în Bistrița-Năsăud”, a craftsmen association from Bistrița-Năsăud County, the Transylvania Medieval Association and the social services Association from Brașov – SCUT. The project is financed by the Town Hall of Brașov City”.
